EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases the renowned actor Seki Sanjuro II, also known as Asahina Saburo, in a mesmerizing portrayal of the iconic character from the play about the Soga brothers. In this remarkable piece of art created by Yashima Gakutei in 1823 Japan, we witness the essence of theater come alive. Asahina Saburo was once a loyal vassal of Kudo Suketsune but made a fateful decision to defect and join forces with his enemies, the Soga brothers. This pivotal moment is beautifully captured in this third print from a five-part series that focuses on actors on stage. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this woodcut bring out every nuance of emotion portrayed by Seki Sanjuro II. His expressive face reflects both determination and conflict as he embodies Saburo's complex journey. Adding to its allure are two poignant poems inscribed within the artwork, further enhancing its poetic nature. The delicate balance between strength and vulnerability is masterfully depicted through Gakutei's skilled craftsmanship. This extraordinary print from Liszt Collection transports us back to 19th-century Japan, immersing us in its rich cultural heritage. It serves as an exquisite testament to the power of theatrical artistry and reminds us how storytelling can transcend time and space.
